Grumpy Old Forumers

[Smith John]

Holy mother of motherf*ck. There's this 4 episode series about Donald Trump produced and currently being aired by Channel 4 here in the UK. The first episode was aired last Thursday, and whilst C4's agenda is even more blatant than the BBC's, I decided to give it a go anyway. The 1st episode went pretty much as expected: "Trump is an evil, sexist, etc, etc". Fine, I'm used to this rhetoric by now. But I thought I'd give the 2nd episode a chance to see if they'd be a little more positive about him. How wrong and how naive I was; they actually went even more 'Trump is the devil' narrative. If this is how the first two episodes went, I can only imagine how desperate the final two are going to go. It really is f*cking pathetic, not to mention insulting, how unaware these producers - and the media in general - are of the public's acknowledgment of their propaganda... It may work on students/stoners and upper class wankstains, but not on the rest of us.

I got a sh*tty job as advertisement deliverer this week. Now I deliver leaflets to entire towns mailboxes 2 times week and only get 13$ per day.

Job itself is not that bad, but only 13$ day? Its much more worth than that, since it takes at least 3 hours to do even with car. It would be nice job as a school boy, but I'm not kid anymore, so that little money is obviously not enough for living. Its only about 100$ month..

 

Honestly, I took this job, just to have better change to get in to other work after this and because I don't want to be complite dissapointment to my family and myself. Surely will not do this more than 2 months.

Well, I quess I had to start from somewhere.

Looking up reviews of restaurants near me on Google Maps and I came across a review that sounded like a huge rant.

 

The review made mentions of people with disabilities working there (Reviewer Doesn't go into details of their conditions like if their low functioning or mid or high functioning etc) and then proceeded to call them "[email protected] and mongrels" just because these people with a disability don't know any better. I can understand the frustration the reviewer had while at the restaurant but calling people with a disability a [email protected] and mongrel just takes it too far. I mean it wasn't the person with a disabilities fault they were born disabled. The restaurant I'm looking at hires people with a disability and get's them employment.

 

Now before you say hiring people with a disability is wrong. You are probably trying to start something along the lines of if they have a disability then they shouldn't be working period and shouldn't be allowed to have a job. My Grumpy post isn't about whether disabled people should have a job or not but let me leave this bit here from Microsoft that hires people with ASD (Or better known as Autism Spectrum disorder)

https://news.microsoft.com/stories/people/kyle-schwaneke.html

Anyway I flagged the review (As in reported it) . I Don't care if snitches get stitches. When you abuse disabled people and discriminate against them that's when you have taken it too far. Your review can be stuck up where the sun doesn't shine at this point.

 

Now I just to hope the review platform is smart enough to take the review down for hate speech / discrimination against those with a disability.

Oh this, this gone be good. All this happened in one night.

 

So 3 hours earlier, I was walking my dog. Well, if I'm being honest, I don't walk my dog, he walks me. You wanna go left or right? He leads the way. So after 30 minutes of sniffing, we head back up to my apartment, except he wants to take a detour into this neighborhood. This isn't some gated f*cking community, it's a neighborhood where people with a little change in their pocket live. My friend had a run in with some white woman asking him if he belonged in the neighborhood, and to get out if he didn't. So I'm strolling, and this white car just slows down, and stops by me. I was dressed in all black by the way, if I was going to break into someone's house, I'd be way more stealthy. I couldn't hear anything they said, they rolled their window down, but I was listening to music. To make matters worse, they didn't just stop to sight see, this was a real deal 10 second profiling.

 

So after I get home, I boot up the Xbox, ready to play watch dogs, that I reinstalled. Turns out, you can't play downloaded games if you're no longer a gold member. That's actually so f*cking awesome, because I do not remember that on xbox 360! Then Xbox had the nerve to want to update.

 

Oh no, no, no, no. The last f*cking update was horrendous, and ugly as sh*t. Not to mention how they snuck in advertisements, regardless if you are gold or not. As if paying for the f*cking membership isn't enough.

 

I've never wanted to switch to PlayStation or PC so bad in my life. Can't handle PlayStation controllers though, I got big hands, and I hate their triggers. PC? f*ck a keyboard and mouse.

 

My night's pretty awesome so far.

Black Friday deals aren't nearly as good as I expected. I am quite miffed.

Whenever I get a Max Payne 3 clip in my recommended list on YouTube, it always makes me grumpy how underrated that game was. As much as I love R*, I really wish they hadn't started their marketing for V whilst still pushing MP3. That game was an absolute masterpiece.

They should have remastered MP3 instead of LA Noire.

Couldn't agree more, my son, couldn't agree more.

Look at the bright side, you have a job which is always a good thing. Some people wish they could have a job right now, regardless of what kind and for how much pay. It's the holiday season and every buck counts, before you know it you'll land a better one and an even better one after that and so forth.

 

Man, today I've been coughing and sneezing like a freight train - gone through a whole box of tissues in a matter of minutes. I hate colds n' flu's they make me sick.

Every year after black friday you see videos going viral of crowds rushing and jostling, and fights breaking out. Just how common is that behaviour?

[Sombra]

if i had to guess i'd say it's a yearly occurrence

There's usually police present at the bigger chains for crowd control. Just boost on a regular day - LP alone are usually powerless, depending on the store and their policy.

 

I've only gone to Black Friday once, but the lines were unfathomably long and I was too late to get what I wanted. Not worth the wait and hassle just to get a sh*tty 720p 30HZ TV.

[deadx23]

Black Friday actually starts on Thursday on l.a.

Firefox 57 is crap as it killed so many plug-ins, and basically killed off any UI customization, go for Waterfox as it's based off 56, although you do need a 64 bit machine for it.

Clearly Public Transport in my town has turn full sh*t or something. Today I finished lunch up with my friends and went around 2 streets to catch a bus back to the shopping centre then home. My friend who came to the same stop as I did had no trouble hailing he's bus as it came around the corner and got on fine but Mine which comes 20 minuets later.

 

Mine comes around the corner and as I see him coming I hail clearly so he can see it. he almost speeds past (He wasn't paying attention to the bus stop or the fact that I tried to hail him) Had I not screamed out at him and flapped my arms around like a mad chicken (yes a chicken) I would of missed my bus, been left out in the downpour of heavy rain, missed my connecting bus and it would of taken a hour or two longer to get home.

 

Drivers reason? "Well mate no one get's on there usually". Well It's literally a fully marked bus stop with seats and signs and from your position you could clearly see me hailing. This wasn't a professional response and I was thinking of leaving a complaint but they don't have a f*cking complaints line open on the weekend (What kind of bus company doesn't have a complaints line open on the weekend? Silly). I called the head number for Comfort Del Gro NSW and got told the voice mailbox is full (FFS). Anyway had he sped past and not stopped after I clearly hailed him them yes I would of left a complaint and told the bus company to turn the bus back around since the driver missed picking up a passenger that wanted to board the bus.

 

F*ck you Comfort Del Gro and f*ck your no customer complaints hotline not being opened on the weekend.
